i just bought this on the bay:


don't know if anyone else here has tried one of these but i like it just for the nostalgia of it all. the seller gets great reviews and they are apparently very usable picks (only the silver coins). he has several other years available. '56 is my birth year and if i had a quarter from that year i'd try to shape it myself. he includes a nice keychain holder that displays the face of the pick.

fraudulently defacing US currency is a crime.

search for mojo pick on ebay, I think that's the only way to get them.

If you're looking for your year of birth in silver, Stephen, don't forget that they only began producing silver coins after the standard was changed in 1893.

I bet those things leave Deadly Pick-Tracks! :eek:

You could make a brand-new guitar look like Willie's "Trigger" in a month.

Beal comments that he don't like 'em... Somewhere I got metal finger-picks and I don't like them.
Something about the metal-to-metal...

But I have some coins, and I have a dremel...

I use metal finger pics... but couldn't get next to a metal flat pic.
Might get one for my coin collection though.

It should be illegal, it makes their little heads look pointy.

Well, at least that's one way to increase the value of U.S. currency.

I'd rather spend the quarter on something else. Do these silver picks have any give to them? I've gotten a few to bend in my past, but it was always with the assistance of a passing locomotive.

. . . pretty much what happened in the real estate market.

I've used quarters (and other world coins), but just as they are. They sound awesome, tho not for everything, and they really wreak havoc on strings.

hey, this pick actually works quite well but i would not use it for all songs. it adds a unique flavor. best used for arpeggio or single note picking rather than strumming. i likes it! the way it is beveled it will not damage strings, it is comfortable to hold, and is 52, just like me.

Plus you can stab people with them and not worry about the tip falling off.
